A tragic incident unfolded on the A40 between the Abergwili and PC World roundabouts near Carmarthen in South Wales last night, resulting in the death of a pedestrian. The pedestrian was struck by multiple vehicles, including a police car responding to the scene. Reports indicated that several vehicles had collided with the pedestrian before the police car also hit them upon arrival.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene, and efforts are underway to identify the individual and notify their next of kin. The road closure between the roundabouts is expected to last for an extended period as investigations continue. Motorists are urged to seek alternative routes to avoid the area.
Following the incident involving multiple vehicles and a police car, the Dyfed-Powys Police have made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) for independent oversight. No arrests have been made yet, and the force refrained from commenting further until the IOPC completes its assessment.
Authorities are appealing for witnesses and information related to the crash, particularly urging motorists with dash cams who were in the vicinity at the time to come forward. The public is encouraged to assist in the ongoing inquiries by sharing any relevant information or footage they may have.
